Butter Beans And Braised Leeks

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Tasty. I needed a leek for another recipe and because they were sold in bundles of three, I ended up with two huge leeks that I needed to use for something else. I love butter beans and I also had a couple of tomatoes that were about to turn so this recipe was perfect. I had to use ground cardamom, and I think I might use more next time. The equivalents chart I found said 1/2 tsp = 10 pods, so used a heaping 1/4 tsp, Next time, I might go for a scant 1/2. I already increased the garlic by one and probably could have gone with four cloves. I also was not sure how much to let the broth cook down, and think I should have let more of the wine cook off or maybe used less vinegar because the apple cider vinegar I had on hand was a bit too sweet. Overall, however, this was a delicious and healthy option for leeks.
